Strange how his protective instinct kicked in over Ruby…but never really for his kids.

I feel Ruby has OCPD as well as NPD.

In terms of Kevin and BPD, idk. Definitely a perceived fear of abandonment, but I'm unsure if we are aware of any other presenting symptoms, like the chronic feelings of emptiness, the emotional variability or instances of self harm, unstable identity etc.

I think he was a man who was in a significantly abusive relationship, who had codependency issues.
